Three Tips for a Healthy Seafood Meal

There’s one thing better than eating fresh seafood and that’s eating it right at your favorite seaside restaurant, while you enjoy the breeze from the sea in the company of good friends. Of course, there’s also a healthy way of dining on the freshest catch of the day. Here are a few good tips on how to savor a seafood meal that’s equal parts delicious and waistline-friendly:


Start with a salad

A vegetable salad is a smart way to ensure you don’t overeat later. Salads can take the edge off your hunger while adding vitamins, fiber, and other highly beneficial nutrients to your meal.  There are many choices of dressings to match any of your seafood choice or the main course offered by your favorite seafood restaurant.

For your entrée, go with grilled or broiled fish

The best places to eat on the wharf will offer to prepare your fish any way you want. Have your fish broiled or grilled to keep it light.

Pick a healthy side dish


Seafood meals typically come with a number of healthy side dish options. That said, your best options might include roasted veggies, sautéed spinach, or a baked potato. Skip the fried options altogether to save yourself a few hundred calories.
